Your relationship should be a judgment free zone, full of respect, hot cocoa & cuddling!

Let it be (B)eautiful: The cold weather is here, which means everyone wants a cuddle buddy. If you are fortunate enough to have one than you best make sure you take full advantage. Hot cocoa, a good flick , and a warm blanket sounds divine.

Let it be (A)uthentic: I love how if I am having a rough/emotional/stressful day I can go to my guy fall into his arms and let out a good cry. Your relationship should be a judgment free zone. No make up on, bad hair day, PMS and all, you should feel comfortable being you.

Let it be (D)etermined to Last: Respect. This one word says it all. If you don’t respect your partners feelings expect your relationship to have a first class seat on a train to nowhere. If your partner feels differently than you do, instead of flipping out, take a second to understand their side. This is where communication comes in. Take a few minutes where you both explain your point of view, put your pride on a shelf and aim to understand your partners feelings.

“You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have really lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love.” ~ Henry Drummond
